Comments on: Bit.ly Starts Warning About Malicious Links http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/16/bitly-starts-starts-warning-of-malicious-sites/ Startup and Technology News Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:54:52 -0800 hourly 1 By: Elsah Cort http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/16/bitly-starts-starts-warning-of-malicious-sites/comment-page-2/#comment-3111836 Elsah Cort Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:43:09 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/?p=83855#comment-3111836 My art studio tour website started showing a warning today from bit.ly, and also all the links from this website are also showing a warning if linked from bit.ly. How do I find out why this has happened and how to fix it? I can't use bit.ly any more on twitter. I have been linking this website from bit.ly for about 7 months with no problems. There is nothing suspicious about this website. It is about a community art studio tour, and the website has been on the web for the last 8 years. Anyone have any ideas about this? As the organizer for the studio tour, that is happening in March 2010, I am very concerned that this website has been compromised. I did a malware check on google for it, and it came out clean.
